Supply Chain Position
Optical interposer for wafer-level photonic packaging. Pre-revenue. Binary outcome by 2027.
Why Included
If the optical interposer is validated, every transceiver maker needs it. Sub-$1M revenue today. $250M+ cash from equity raises. This is a pure option — smallest position size reflects the binary risk.
Customers: No meaningful revenue. Pre-commercial.
Red Flags
- •Pre-revenue — sub-$1M revenue, zero commercial validation
- •Binary outcome: technology either works and gets adopted, or it doesn't
- •Cash burn requires ongoing equity dilution from raises
- •$250M+ raised from equity — dilution is significant and ongoing
- •No analyst coverage or institutional validation
Citrini Research Note
Citrini weight: 5% (lowest in basket). Portfolio at 2.3% (also lowest). Both treat it as a small speculative position.
